Episode 1: Fenway Park - Iconic America

Boston bleachers, Braves Field 2nd game of World Series, 10/9/16 (LOC)

a. The Wave

According to Red Sox fan lore, The Wave started in a tightly packed section behind home plate. Whenever someone in that section had to stand up to get a beer or use the bathroom, everyone else in that section had to stand up, too. The fans in the next row, frustrated that they could no longer see the game, had to stand up as well. This created a domino effect of entire sections standing up. And thus, The Wave was born. Or so they say.
